Will the delivery be normal if a woman has polio?

Q: My wife is in the 9th month of pregnancy and has polio in her left leg. Can she have a normal delivery or a caesarean has to be performed?

A:If your wife's pelvis is not affected by polio there is no reason that she may have any difficulty with normal delivery. The only reason for caesarean section to be performed is presence of other fetal or maternal indications.
